Faith is a journey not a guilt trip

Ho! Ho! Ho! It's the most wonderful time of the year! Well...not quite yet! But we want to gear up and get ready for Operation Christmas Child. This is a great opportunity where we can make an impact in a child's life halfway around the world! So get your shoebox ready, make a list, and check it twice! Here's your chance to giveback globally!

My wife and I were able to fly down to OKC for the Network Summit at LifeChurch.tv. Below you can catch a video recap of everything that went down.

Over the next few week we will share a few of the notes that were taken from some of the sessions at the Summit. We really hope that it inspires you! To the Swerve Church team, I hope that in the near future you will be able to take the flight with us to the next Summit so that we can learn and be inspired together.

3 Statements That Define Network

1:: We are the Network and we exist to reach the world and make Jesusknown.

Lazy people don't need vision to be lazy.

This network is all about reaching people.
